Introduction
Product information management (PIM) software is utilized by companies to gather, organize, and handle product information, including data such as product descriptions, features, specifications, images, videos, pricing, and availability.
The following outlines the manner in which PIM software functions within an organization:
Changes made by the engineering team to an existing product are added to the central PIM system.
The central PIM system overwrites or updates the current product information and makes it accessible to all other teams.
Upon reviewing these changes, the product management team adjusts the product's price in accordance with the modifications made by the engineering team in the PIM system, and the PIM system then automatically updates the price on all distribution channels.
The E-commerce team can access the updated information from the central PIM system without concerns about its accuracy, and then update the product description in the PIM system. The PIM system then automatically updates the product description on all distribution channels.
Key features of the Lidia PIM system typically include the following:
Centralized product information
Storage Integration with various systems such as e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, SAP and ERPs
Data enrichment and validation workflows
Collaboration and approval workflows
Data management and quality guidelines
Product categorization management
Product variant management Multilingual and multichannel support
Analytical and reporting skills

Media Management
You can manage media in PIM from the media section in the left menu. In this section you can organize your images, videos and documentation.
In the images section you can add new files, rename, delete and view details for the image.
Especially when uploading products, we will use the names of the images we have uploaded as image codes.
You can manage all your documents in PIM under media > documents.
Adding Products
Before proceeding to the product addition step, we need to define options and option values. Configuration > catalog > option management > options from here we add the necessary options such as size and color.
When adding a product, you must first add the product category and product brand of the product you will add. In the Brands section, you can view and edit the brands you have added before and add new brands.
To add a product brand: catalog > brands > add new brand you can add a new brand or you can use the brand you have already added.
Another important element when adding a new product is adding a category. When adding a product, you can use an existing category or add a new category.
To view categories, you can view, edit and add new categories from: catalog > categories.
To add a new category: catalog > categories > add category. When adding a category, you need to link the category you are adding to a data schema. For example, you should link a computer or a cell phone to the electronics category.
Then we add a new data schema from the configuration > catalog > data schemas tab. Then we add the fields of the data schema we added. We click on the new field section and after adding the field name and all the necessary information, we create our data schema. After creating our data schema, we can proceed to the product upload step.
After creating the data schema, we go to the new field section by clicking on the edit section and after adding the fieldf name and all the necessary information, we create our data schema. After creating our data schema, we can proceed to the product upload step.
After doing all this, you can view and edit your existing products when you switch to the catalog > products section.
To add a new product: You can create the new product after adding the necessary information from the catalog > products > new product section.
Another method when adding products is to open the services > pools tab and log in to the pools. Then we open the pool we want to add a product to. Click on the Edit section.
When we click on the Edit button, the section for importing excel data opens.
Click Import data and download the draft data schema. When we open the excel we have downloaded, we are greeted with information about the columns of the excel on the first page. Mandatory and optional fields are displayed here. Mandatory fields are especially important when adding products.
On page 2, there is a field where we will add product information. On page 2, we fill in the information of the product we will add. Here, the mandatory fields on the first page are indicated in red.
Another important element here is that the size, color code, category and brand information must be defined in the system in advance. After filling in the necessary information, we save the excel and open the PIM pools page. We say import data, then select the excel we have edited.
Click on the Import Excel data section. It will switch to the screen where you view the contents of the file we have uploaded. After checking this screen and deciding that your data is as desired, click confirm.
